It's good that it takes a long time to reload cuz the plasma rifle can't reload at all also I found out how to attach the exterior way cool gun!!! Just make sure that you don't melee with it :) 5*

[charge11595]

Cool. Once I get the videos up, you can see if you did it right.

[oblina]

Do u have to cut the yellow one

[charge11595]

Cutting the yellow connector is optional. It's not necessary, but it would jam less often.

[danroy99]

Wait, do you have to load rubber bands BEFORE you stick everything onto the "skeleton"?

[charge11595]

Unless you can find a way to load the gun whit the outer shell on, then yes, you will have to load it before attaching the shell. It works perfectly fine without the shell, but won't look like the Halo plasma rifle

It's a rubber band gun, it is supposed to shoot rubber bands, that is why i built it, too shoot rubber bands.

I've actually figured it out already but put the in anyway! Also I've built it and I REALLY like it thanks for the awesome plasma rifle now if only I had a plasma repeater

[charge11595]

I'll look it up on Haloapedia and see if I can make one :)

Hello i'm very happy someone tried to create a plasma rifle out there. I'm a huge fan of the Halo seiries and this is a pretty close recreation. great job. one note though is that you may want to add a count on green rods to the top of your instructable. its not listed there, only pictured. thanks

[charge11595]

Thanks for the help! You may also want to see my plasma pistol (CLICK HERE). It fires the same way.

[MuseGlitch]

turns out you need an additional 4 red connectors and an additional 4 white rods and some additional blue rods to complete the exterior. anyway i just completed it and its awesome just wondering though...What and how does it fire?

[MuseGlitch]

by the way your red conector count is low by 3

[SonicX 22]

YAY ITS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EATLEAD97]
